RULES:
The object of the game is to be the first player to collect and lay down 3 full property sets of different colors. Setup: remove the 4 quick-start cards from the deck and hand them for reference. Shuffle the deck and deal 5 cards facedown to each player. Players look at their own cards but keep them hidden from their opponents. Place the deck facedown in the middle of the table as a draw deck. Pick a player to go first, then play proceeds clockwise.
On your turn you draw 2 cards from the top of the draw deck and add them to your hand. You can then play up to 3 cards from your hand. You don’t need to play any cards if you don’t want to. If you have more than 7 cards in your hand at the end of your turn you must discard the extras. If a player runs out of cards during their turn, they pick up 5 cards at the start of their next turn instead of 2.
There are 3 ways to play cards.
First, you can place money and action cards into your own bank. Your bank is a stack of cards in front of you. Every action card has a numerical value and can be placed into your bank for that value. However, once an action card is converted into money in your bank, you cannot use it as an action for the rest of the game. Property cards can never be played or moved to any player’s bank.
Second, You can place properties in front of you into your collection. You don’t need to pay or do anything special to play them. Just lay them down in front of you, overlapping properties of the same color. This is how you collect property sets. Each property tells you how many are needed for a complete set. You do not need to collect different named cards of the same color to make a set, you are allowed to have duplicates. Some properties have two colors. These properties can only count towards 1 color at a time and you must orient them in front of you indicating such. You may only rearrange your properties in front of you on your turn.
Third, you may play an action card to a center faceup discard pile and follow the instructions on the card. If you draw an action card on your turn you are allowed to play it right away as one of your 3 cards or use it later.
When you have to pay another player you must take the money from your bank and put it into their bank or take one of your properties and give it to them, adding it to their sets. Properties used as payment are worth their monetary value indicated on the card.
Cards in play never go back to players hands and players may never pay opponents with cards in their hand. You can pay another player with cards from your bank, or properties, or both. You choose how you’re going to pay, not the player you’re paying.
If you over pay a player no change is given. For example, if a player charges you 2 for rent and you only have a 3 card in your bank and no properties, you must overpay the 3 and you don’t get anything back. While you may choose to overpay with a single card, you cannot willing give charity contributions to opponents by massively overpaying them. If you have no cards in front of you, you don’t pay at all.
If the draw deck runs out of cards, shuffle the discard into a new draw deck. After you play your cards, if you choose to, your turn ends and the next player clockwise takes a turn. The first player to collect 3 sets of properties wins!

The cards say exactly what needs to happen. If one person is to pay or reli quish a property, the card says it. If everyone has to pay for a "birthday" the card says it. The wild cards he kinda explained. The concept is the same but everyone is susceptible to how you decide to use your wild cards.

A variant of this game that I came up with: The goal is to bankrupt every player and own 5 color sets. You draw 1 card per turn. If a player runs out of cards, then on their next turn, they draw 2 instead of 1. Wild cards can be used for both property sets. Just lay it out as the center of both, and have one set extending one way, while the other color set extends the other way. If you do not have any cards in either your hand or in front of you, then you go bankrupt, and are out of the game. Put all of your cards into the discard pile, regardless if they are action cards or not.

If a property set contains a wildcard and the set has a house and/or hotel built on it, can the wildcard be turned as part of the go? If so, what happens to the house/hotel?

[@andrewbrasfield1104]

1: You discard extra cards to the bottom of the deck, not the discard pile. 2: There is no need to worry about duplicate property cards, since they simply don't exist. There aren't any property cards that have the same name (with the exception of wild cards). The wild cards don't have a name, but they do fill the role of a property. For example, if I have New York Avenue and St James Place, a wild card that I place down for that set will count as Tennessee Avenue. This means you can have multiple wild cards in one set.

I've played this game lots of times but I always have the same doubt.. Imagine you steal a complete set from another player (with a joker or wild card) and you already have a property of that same color. Do you attach that joker or wild card to another set of properties you have or you have to use an action to do it?

[@LetsSitNPlay]

yes....after stealing a property you can place a joker on any color of the set...if you need ....but you cant arrange the same color of property in two different sets

[@dhanvi2612]

[@MrSanfrinsisco]

There's still some things that aren't spoke about. Such as, if you have 2 cards of a color set and a wild card that completes the color set, if someone places down an action card that allows them to steal a color set, are they allowed to steal the color set with the wild card? Not just the wild cards that have 2 different colors on them, but the wild cards that can be literally any property. And if this is the case, if a player steals a color set with a wild card in it, is that player forced to use that wild card as part of the set they stole for the rest of the game? Or are they allowed to take that wild card from the complete color set they stole, and use it for a different color set?

[@khoitan4758]

@@TomTheCat. Wait, if an action card is in your (or any player's) bank, it can't be used for its action. It is money now.

[@khoitan4758]

Basically, action cards have 2 purposes (you choose 1 of them, not both): 1. Play it into your bank as a money card in your turn so you can use it to pay later. 2. Play it into the discard pile and do the action on the card, ignore the money value, in your turn. The only exception is Just Say No cards, which can be played into the discard pile at any time when someone plays an action card that affects you so you can be immune to it. It does not count towards 3 card limit during your turn and if you used it as an action (put it in the discard pile), that's it.

Anyone remember this other Monopoly card game? I don't remember what it was called, but it had some interesting mechanics such as trading for other players' discarded cards. There were cards for each property in the game, and you needed to make color sets to earn money, where you win by accumulating $10,000 over one or more rounds. One odd thing was the token cards - they represented someone landing on your property and could multiply its value!
